Drug addiction isn’t just a personal struggle; it is a reflection of deeper social wounds. What drives addiction in the Maldives? Why do so many treatment efforts fall short? And what needs to change in people, in systems, and in the stories we tell?

And how evidence-based systemic reform could possibly shift the tide. Because behind every drug story is a person, and a system that can either break them or help them rebuild.
